Fancy Vivillon Distribution!

[Richard and Blaziken]

Fancy Pattern Vivillon is being distributed via Mystery Gift in celebration of 100 million GTS trades! The download runs from today to July 31st, so download it now while you can!

There are no preset IVs or anything, but it does come with an exclusive event move, Hold Hands! This move allows you to... hold hands with the opposing Pokemon... and... that makes you both happy... and then they kill you! 8D

Game Freak needs to stop making moves which have literally no use in battle. Even I'm starting to get annoyed by it.

....Here's hoping it'd be useful in Contests, at least....

I've been resetting for it, but it's going to take ages to get anything close to playable.

Got mine, and decided to see what would happen if I saved where the girl would stand and then got the gift...

She merely sidesteps next to your character instead [D

I'm guessing we can't breed on the pattern, same with the regional ones? I hate it when they do this stuff.

Earlier I found a Timid Vivillon with a 31 Speed IV, but didn't keep it because it had Shield Dust instead of Compound Eyes. I should have kept it and saved up the BP for an Ability Capsule, but didn't think of that at the time.

Fancy Vivillon goes until the 31st according to blocked; thought I'd mention that here since the original post has the date wrong. .-.

Nearly forgot to nab mine, but I remembered when I got the game out & was about to start playing. xD I would've been disappointed if I'd forgotten about it since I'm a collector.

Dunno where I got 28th from. Maybe the date was changed, or maybe I'm just crazy. Updated.

Hold hands has a cool animation, I really like it. You can do it with friendly pokémon in doubles/triples too, so it's not just with the enemy.

Yeah I sometimes use it in the restaurant battles, after I send out 3 different colour Vivillons in a triple battle. 

I'm also hoping it will be a useful contest move in OR/AS.
